Endorsement Partners

Transparency is a key component to legitimacy in the environmental industry, and we suggest all of the businesses listed within our site be as transparent as possible. One way we help businesses accomplish this is through our Endorsement Partnerships. We have partnered with many 3rd party screening and certification companies which allow our businesses to display those certification marks on their listings within our directory. This allows consumers to know they are supporting a credible, and transparent company, and rewards companies who are doing all they can for the environment. We are adding new endorsement partners all the time, if one of yours is not listed here please let us know what other organization you would like to see us include. If you are a screening or certification company that would like to get more information about becoming an Endorsement Partner please email endorsements@gengreenlife.com.

The Green America Business Seal of Approval is a mark of trust provided by Green America to help consumers identify and support socially responsible companies that have been screened and approved by Green America. We consider each company's impact on its four major stakeholders: their customers, their employees (including workers in their supply chain), the environment, and the communities in which they do businesses and where their business has an impact. The companies we approve are social and environmental leaders, representing the best practices of the top ten percent of their industries. This special seal shows that a company has a real commitment to socially and environmentally responsible business practices. Each member carrying this seal is an approved member of Green America's Green Business Network. ⇒ Become a business member and get approved ⇒ View the Green America members in your area!

1% for the Planet 1% is a growing global movement of over 1200 member companies that donate 1% of their sales to a network of 1708 environmental non-profits worldwide.

Green Business Alliance Green Business Alliance has assumed a leading role in assisting businesses to understand what it means to be Green, identifying attainable objectives and then implementing more environmentally responsible business practices. Our mission at Green Business Alliance is to help integrate environmental stewardship into your daily business practices. We understand that it is naïve to think that a business can go Green overnight or that every recommendation can be implemented within every company. Green Business Alliance understands these dynamics and presents our members with the support and expertise to incrementally boost the Green qualities of their businesses. The primary objective of Green Business Alliance is to be a Green Enabler. This means helping companies understand why it is so important to Go Green, then providing a workable roadmap for them to follow in order to Greenify. Once a company has implemented the Guidelines to Greenify, they become a Green Business Alliance Greenified company. At that time, we provide recognition channels for the company to demonstrate their commitment to a Green business future to customers, prospective customers and their community. There has never been a more appropriate time to Go Green. Its value is recognized more so than ever before. Green Business Alliance can help you to accomplish this essential objective.
